Friday morning, Sir J. F. BOUGHPv, Bart. the present representative, Mr. V. S.

ROYAL ACADEMY. (Continued.) 40. Portrait of Earl Grosvenor. J. JACKBO,4, R.A. We are very reluctant to mingle polities with matters of taste, but it is impossible for its to look at this portrait of a truly respectable Nobleman, respectable in the highest de gree for his private virtues. without strong feelings of regret on account of the extraordinary change which has t .keir place in his public conotiet. He came forward in political life, under the most favourable auspices, evidently with high at tainments, distinguished talents. and a warm a ttachment to those principles upirn which the honour, security, and hap piness of the Empire depend. He proceeded in this laudable tract for some years, obviously without any interested bias, his situation, and, we trust, his cast of mind, placing him far above any such sordid influence. but he may nog thot%ht to hare almost forsaken those doctrines with which he for merly appeared to be invincibly allied. We are tempted, therefore, to extract a passage from an old Poet, whose name w e do not recollect, which seems to be applicable to the pre sent occasion:— " Thy youth (lid promise much ; and, grown a man, " Thou alad'st it good, and, with increase of yea's, " Thy actions still better'd : as the Sun, " Thou did'st rise gloriously, kept'st a constant course " In all thy journey; and now, in the evening, " When thou should'st pass with honour to thy rest, " Wilt thou fall like a meteor ?" The Artist has here produced a fine whole-length Portrait, chastely coloured, with an unaffected ease in the attitude, and with an expression in the c•untenance which strews that the Noble Original, when he stood fnr the picture, I%'as doubtless wholly detached from political contemplations, and animated merely by those feelings of benignity, which, from all we have heard,certainly constitute the real ground work of his character. (To he continued ) THE THEATRE.—The Point of Honour, the play which does so much credit to Mr. C. KEMELE, in its adaptation to the English stage, and the Li terary taste which it exhibits, was followed last night, at Covent-garden Theatre, by an attempted repetition of the Farce of December and May, but the. opposition was so strong from a numerous.ati (Hence, and the Piece is so weak in itself, that it was probably consigned, on this occasion, to well meritetUoblivioo. We pity the judgment of Ma nagers who can think such pieces were "likely to become popular, or lament that dearth of diamatic talents, which induces them to bring such pieces forward. Belt the fault lies chiefly with the Ma nagers ; for having a stock of good Performers, if they were to revive pieces of real met it, they might also revive their popularity and attraction. Miss BooTn.—The Public, we are sure, will hear with pleasure, that this amiable and agreeable Actress, who had been so much indisposed as to threaten the most fatal consequences, has return ed from Cheltenham, in perfect health, and able to resume her professional duties with all her for mer spirit. Mr. JONES, the Dublin Manager, • who seems to have been born in a whirlwind, and to have a genius for contention, has had a recent dispate with Mr. CON way, the Actor, who has announced his intention to detail the particulars of the dis pute in the public prints. In the mean time he contents himself with simply stating that he shall offer " reasons to shew that in his public pro ceedings as a Manager, Mr..lotiss has been guided neither by the principles of common sense, of gentlemanly feeling, nor of ordinary honour."— If Mr. JONES has eve' been m the right in any of his disputes with his Performers, and other per sons connected with his Theatre, he has been a ' very unfortunate man, for it does not npear that in all'his controversies there has been a solitary instance in his favour. ARGYLL Rooms.—Mr. and Mrs. LACY had their annual Concert last night at this place. The room had a very full attendance, and the Duke of Susss,x was at the head of the higher order of _visitors. SPAGNOLETTI led the first act, Moat the second, and the whole was tinder the conduct of Sir G. SMART. We have not room-for particulars, but can truly state, that it was a charming and well diversified concert. Miss STEPHENS, BRAHAM, VAUGHAN, HAWES, ELLIOTT, And Mr. And WS. LACY, were the Vocal Performers. Miss Sy- PvIONDS also, a pupil of Mrs. LACY, did credit to her instructress and herself. Miss SHARP delighted the audience with carnations on the harp', and MORI gave a solo on the violin with admirable ability. Sunday the infant son of the Marquis and Mar chioness of ANGLESPA W,tS baptised at Uxbridge ' house, by the Rev. Dr. DoWDEsWELL ; the Spots 3ors were his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE GENT, his Royal Highness the Mike Of YORK, and Lady JANE PAGET. The child was named George Augustus Frederick.--After the ceremony his Lordship gave an elegant entettainment to a party of dis:inction, including the Royal Sponsors, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, the Earl and Countess of Calloway, Lord Graves, Earl of Uxbridge, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Paget, Gen. Champagne, Mr. Singleton, &c. In the evening her Ladyship had a Concert, which was attended by a select party of leer particular friends. FOR TEM SUN. MR. EDITO.R,---11 1 01 I Ig our .'!;:ational Taxes have of lave years increased to an alarming amount, yet every rational man !Dust - 41110%v that they have been broug,lit on by an unavOidahlc necessity, and ate the price we have paid for the coutinnance of every thing that is dear to its. But that this great increase of taxation is not the canse, as some Poli ticians venture, to assert, of the high price of all 'Articles of necessity, and of course of the distress brought upon the Poor, wants demoustration.— It has been asserted, that Government might safely go on to tax to an unlimited extent ; that it was only taking the money out of one man's pocket sod placing it in that of another; that whether A or 13 was the possessor was immaterial to the Public. This may be a plausible maxim ; but there is a fallacy at the bottom. When it was asked whya pail of water won't' not be heavier wii h a brace of carp in it than without, a Stanger by shrewdly remarked, make the experiment the ba lance. was brought, and the proposition proved to be groundless. In pursuance of the above Maxim, however, we have been Casting the carp into the bucket out of smother, in other words, we have gone on to tax till we are arrived at our ne plus ultra ; the proof is brought home to us from a (politer least expected ; in short, we have made the experiment, and the poor are starving. Their wages are not adequate to their wants, and the farmer,cannot afford Jogive them such as are ; he too fekls the pressure of taxation, and finds it ne cessary:to retrench, and carry on his business with fewer hands ; the detnand for labour fails, and the poor • rates increase. To rectify this growiLg evil a new Bill has been brought into Pat liament, which, if it does away the expensive laws attendant on settlement cases, will cer tainly do a great deal of good ; but in other mat ters it leaves us pretty much as we were ; the branches are pruned a little, but the root of the evil is left untouched ; the farmer will still be ovurburthened, and the poor man will still he left to go six miles to a visitor, when he knows before he sets our that the visitor will do nothing fur him, yet he most go to him before the Jus tice, who lives in the same parish, perhaps, with the pauper, can interfere ; and how is the Justice to know the exact distance between the pauper's hoose and the visitors ? for, frivolous its this qnestion- may seem, I have reason, from expe rience, to know that it may occasion a dispute, whereas, .that we should be obliged to go to the visitor at all is vexatious, occasions additional ex pence, trouble, and loss of time, and can answer tin good end whatever. It seems to be lett doubtful in this Bill whether a man paying rates and not /icing in the Parish may vote or. not at the vestry. Such superficial regulations in these laws, will, I am afraid, do nothing effectual. We are come to this point, that the land can no longer support the manu facturing pour as well as its Aron ; and to put things on a better tooting must require some time, and also a plan of a more substantial nature. A fund must be rai•ed for their future maintenance, and . who ought •to raise that fund, bitt the very men who' are to receive the benefit of it. I stated in a former letter. (in your Paper of the 19th of March) that every master slta,hl be obliged to deduct slimething flout every unmarried servant's wages, • where they were more than enough to furnish him with apparel necessary to his 'situation, which should he placed in a Savings Bank, and should entitle him to a proportionate snottily after a certain age, or in case of in firmity. And I now repeat it in the hope of pressing it on time minds of those who are able to enforce it, for enforced it must be to be of any adequate avail. But it will he said, perhaps, that compulsion will not do in a land of liberty. How does it do with the servants' tax ? !low with the soldiers' and sailors' stoppages ? We talk of liberty and often loose the substance to catch at a shadow. Who is so free as the man that main tains himself in independence ? That every able bodied man should maintain himself through life, and not he a burthen on the industry of (others, is so reasonable, that I will venture to say, that no young man of an honest disposition would ob ject ta it, but, on the contrary, would rejoice that he could lay by his earnings to so satisfactory a purpose. . It innst he n sordid And selfish villain who can ,say, I will du nothing fur myself, the parish is bound to maintain me For such, the law should provide punishments proportioned to the degree of guilt, which punish ments should never be remitted. Prin6piis °lista is a maxim that would save many !rum the gallows, What is the law of God ought to be the law of man. In the sweat of his brain is he to eat bread. He that will not provide for his own is worse than an infidel. And not only is be to provide for his own, but he is to obtain by latroisr some superfluity if he can, that he may have to give to him that needed!. Thisin A plies however, of course, that employment is al - wayi to be had, and a provision for a con stant supply of this is what- . is wanted ; it is a siireqtrq..rton, for without it, the industrious able bodied man and the cripple must be alike desti tute: Yet we hear sonic Gentlemen say they do not approve of relieving the ahle-bodied labourer, Let those Gentlemen then tell us • how he is to live when nobody will hire him ?

GANIE PU'RCH.ASE BILL. Mr. G BANK, moved the second leading of the Game hircha'se Bill. Mr. CURWEN spoke against the present system of Game Laws, and contended the present Bill would not answer the purpose for which it had been brought in. He moved that the lull shosslst be read a second time on that day six mouths. Colonel %-VooD opposed the Bill, and was con vinced that the only remedy for the existing evil would be found in legalizing the sale of Game, by Making it property. Sir S. ROMILLY t bought the Bill would effect * great improvement in the present s}ll rm. 'The last speaker, to be consistent with himself, as he had folmcrly brought in a Bill to legalize she sale of Game, ought to vote for the present Bill. Since 'he House had refined to make it legal to sell Game, ought it to be legal to boy it ? He could not see how the House could make up its mind to punish the sale of Game, while they allowed it to be bought with impunity. Colonel WOOD, in explanation, said, he was unwilling to vote for this Bill, as it went to prop up the present system of Game Laws, which he wished - to get rid of altogether. Air. LAMB could not vote for the present Bill, though, he admitted, it was a great absurdity to make it penal to sell Game while it Was not penal
